Selecting a Logical input from the list, by pressing the Enter key, brings up the list
of available Physical inputs to which they may be mapped. Again, note that the list
of Physical inputs will depend on installed hardware and Configuration settings.
Note there are “special” Physical inputs that are used that don’t actually represent
hardware. In some cases it is desired to turn a logical function permanently on or
permanently off. Two special physical inputs are available for this, “Always On”,
and “Always Off”.
The list of all possible Logical inputs varies by application and so is not presented
here. Also, the Configuration settings will cause specific Logical inputs to appear
or disappear from this menu. Consult the Appendices to this Manual, or contact
the Merrick Customer Service department for assistance.
Outputs
This menu allows you to map the Physical outputs to the Logical outputs. One
Logical Output may be mapped to multiple Physical outputs, allowing one internal
event to be sent to multiple external processes.
Selecting “Outputs” will present you with a list of all the current Physical outputs,
along with the Logical output they are currently mapped to, if any. Again, note that
the list of Physical outputs will depend on installed hardware and Configuration
settings.

Warnings/Faults
This menu item allows you to set a specific property for any Logical input or
Logical output.
Setting an input or output to “Warning” causes an annunciation (display) whenever
that logical event occurs. Warnings are displayed (see Main Menu > Warnings),
but cause no further action.
Setting an input or output to “Fault” causes the feeder to “trip” (stop) and an
annunciation. The feeder cannot resume until the fault condition is cleared (see
Main Menu > Warnings).
Selecting “Warnings/Faults” shows the following menu
